The Great Wife Hope was rip-offed to Baby You Knock Me Out. Also don't forget Space Cadet which looks like Deep Space Homer. Still, Million Dollar Maybe is Death Has a Shadow and one of the THOHXIV shorts looks like Death Lives.

Some early Family Guy episodes could probably work as Simpsons episodes like Death Has a Shadow and Fifteen Minutes of Shame, though there's not really any episodes in the series that felt very Simpsons-esque all the way through except for maybe Brian Wallows and Peters Swallows for it's emotional ending and mostly character based plot.

None of them...they have two totally different styles of humor. Simpsons was/sometimes still can be smart, witty, and coherent stories. Where as Family Guy's are crude, lowbrow, random, racist, and just plain retarded at times with barely any stories and just a bunch of cutaways tied together to a very half-assed thin plot.

Cutaways used to be way more frequent than they are now, though they also had a somewhat higher success rate in season 4-6

Anyway to answer the main question... I would agree it's probably none of them, the show's styles are very distinct sans the visuals which can rightfully be labeled derivative. Maybe a few of the stories in the first two season can mirror Simpsons stories, but no more than they would mirror other base sitcom plot ideas.
